Creating a design mentorship program that helped emerging designers grow through structured guidance, feedback, and real product craft.

My Role
As Program Director, I designed and ran a mentorship program connecting experienced designers with emerging talent through structured conversations and feedback.
The Approach
We defined clear mentoring rituals, growth themes, and feedback practices so both mentors and mentees could show up with intention.
Results
Built a mentorship program that strengthened design craft, confidence, and community across the organization.
